The Contracted Wife: Boss, No Binding Contract - Chapter 45

Chapter 45: Never Did He Care When She Cried (15)

“What’s the matter? Can I only call you if there’s something on?”

Ji Xinxin sniggered slightly and eased on her teasing. Her prideful tone made a return. “I have time later today and shall allow you to meet me for afternoon tea.”

“You… you’re back? Weren’t you in Cannes?” Ling Chuxia appeared slightly surprised.

She had wanted to treat Ji Xinxin to a meal for a while, but alas, her schedule was fully packed due to her popularity. One day she would be filming at Hengdian World Studios in China, the next day she would be in France for Paris Fashion Week, and then off to the Cannes Film Festival the subsequent day. Her calendar had no space left for Ling Chuxia, who could only wait for her to initiate a meetup when time did permit.

“I was, 11 hours ago.”

“…”

Ji Xinxin had always been headstrong and did things as she wished. Ling Chuxia questioned her no more.

Ji Xinxin continued talking. “Why? Are you busy? Is that bastard at your house?”

Was Shi Che at their house?

How could he possibly be at home?

It had been almost half a month since he left…

Ling Chuxia instinctively shook her head before realizing that Ji Xinxin could not see her physical reaction. She hurriedly replied, “No, I’m free.”

“As long as you’re free. I’ll send you a text for the time and place later. That’s all for now, bye!” Ji Xinxin spoke bluntly and was prepared to hang up.

However, Ling Chuxia inadvertently spoke up, “Wait!”

Ji Xinxin had almost hung up. She asked suspiciously, “Yes?”

Ling Chuxia swallowed her saliva. She calmed herself down and then spoke solemnly. “Next time… please don’t call the Young Master a bastard for no good reason… That’s not very nice…”

“…”

A second later, Ji Xinxin hung up unapologetically. She seemed to not even bother with rebuking and ridiculing Ling Chuxia.

–

Ling Chuxia took a shower and put on some light makeup. After putting the finishing touches on her appearance, she left the house.

Ji Xinxin said she would meet with Ling Chuxia at a cafe. The cafe was quite ordinary and its interiors even seemed slightly dated, while the coffee and food there weren’t anything special. The cafe did not seem to match the profile of the wildly famous celebrity Ji Xinxin. Despite that, year after year, this cafe remained her favorite. In her own words, it had an air of nostalgia.

Ling Chuxia could feel her superstar presence from afar the moment she opened the door. Ji Xinxin sat in a corner seat with her legs crossed gracefully in a languid manner. Her thin and delicate fingers wrapped around a cup of coffee as she took a sip from it. Any regular cafe would become dazzling from her celebrity aura.

Ling Chuxia saw Ji Xinxin and could not help but curl her lips. She walked slowly with a smile and pulled out the chair opposite to Ji Xinxin’s. She took her seat and said tenderly, “Hello Xinxin!”

Ji Xinxin’s posture remained unchanged and she threw her a cold glance. She noticed her same old manner of dressing and she frowned conspicuously. She rebutted her bluntly, “Ling Chuxia, can’t you dress up more like a woman? If not for your boobs, I would have thought you were a guy. Geez, no wonder that bastard from your house is always somewhere else.”
